Texas Attorney General Opinion Request: Port Authority. Hiring Resigned Congressman.

Background:

• Calhoun Port Authority wants to know about whether it hired Blake Farenthold illegally.
• Independently, Calhoun Port Authority is being sued for violating the Open Meetings Act in the hiring

What’s the question for the Attorney General? Whether the hiring of Farenthold, as a lobbyist, erquired posting that the hiring was specific to services as a lobbyist

What’s the brouhaha over the Open Meetings Act? Those who say the Act was violated say there was no posting for the hiring of Farenthold
